/ About world walking day
- 24hours around the globe

In 2020, as the world faced a global pandemic disrupting our societies, grassroots sports, health systems, and governments worldwide, we needed to come together and show that the Global Sport for All Movement could promote transnational solidarity and keep us united during trying times. Thus was born the idea of TAFISA World Walking Day – 24 Hours Around the Globe, the most inclusive and accessible 24-hour relay around the world.

 

The event aims to build bridges and connections between people. Beyond a simple event, it provides a platform for raising awareness and sharing causes and values important to you, and shows that the Sport for All Movement stands together and united to create a better world.

TAFISA World walking day

Launched in 1991, TAFISA World Walking Day has provided a simple and fun way to be physically active and celebrate Sport for All against the global crisis of physical inactivity. Over three decades, dozens of millions of people hailing from over a hundred and sixty countries have made a habit of walking together on the first Sunday of October, turning it into “World Walking Day”.
